A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

This isn't about content, but upcycling is a thing. You can have somewhat fashionable and stylish products made from what would otherwise be waste.
